Abstract

The forwarding replicated file-chunk strategy and dissemination scheme for enabling availability of the requested resources by other mobile users is considered as a crucial parameter. In this paper, epidemically replicated file chunks using a transition-based approach of a chained model of an infectious disease with susceptible, infected, recovered and death states, enforces the mobile nodes whether to host a file chunk or not, or when no longer a chunk is needed to purge it. In the examination of the proposed framework the effective throughput Eff as a function of the packet loss parameter and the available Bandwidth is considered to examine the system's behavior under continuous changes. Additionally this work examines the throughput of the system and the enforcement degree of the proposed epidemic-based file chunk replication policy.
